Hi all, newbie here
I have been diagnosed type 2 since February of this year. I initially was prescribed to take 1x500mg Metformin in the morning and the same in the evening.
A few weeks ago this was doubled to 2x500mg Metformin.
I have constant diarhhea (bout 5-6 times a day) and it has made day to day journeys and tasks more daunting. I am starting to feel that I always need to be somewhere that has access to a toilet. These tablets are ripping my stomach to pieces. It seems like everything I eat, never stays down for long.
Other symptoms I experience are ; extreme tiredness, sore legs, weak arms, breathlessness, mood swings.
Big no-no foods for me that I have found out so far are ; cheese and milk.
Im a 35 y.o. male and about 1.5 stone overweight.
Its starting to feel that I am not in control of my life and body and that diabetes is creating havoc with me and my day to day activities. I want to take my life back !!
Any help/feedback etc would be most welcome. I :wave:
Thank you.
